Does it cost money and how long is the program?

This program is 100% free and you are provided 24 sessions (about 6 months of work) with a mentor.

Are Peer Mentorship Services Therapy?

No, our peer mentorship sessions are not therapy sessions and should not be treated as such. In the event you are having a mental health emergency and/or need more supportive emotional services that go beyond psychoeducation and lived experience support, we can help you find a clinician in your community.
